Filter Optimization for Relevant Values
We have refined filter functionality to allow for the selection of only relevant values in attribute filter drop-downs. Now, filters automatically narrow down options based on applicable metrics or settings of other filters, ensuring only relevant attribute values are displayed. This allows users to limit selections to meaningful data subsets, enhancing analysis precision. An example use case is enabling Analytics engineers to configure visualizations to allow end-users to select from active customers only, enhancing the specificity and relevance of the data displayed.

Apply Multiple Date Filters to Visualizations
We have expanded the use of multiple date filters from dashboards to individual visualizations. Now, you can refine visualizations with multiple date filters for more dynamic, time-based analysis, allowing for precise data display.
For example, it is possible to configure the visualization to only show data for leads generated within a certain period, like the past year, and then further refine it to display only those closed within a different timeframe, such as the last quarter.

Adding Support for MySQL Data Sources (Beta Feature)
We are in the process of integrating MySQL into our suite of supported data sources. Renowned for its reliability and ease of use, MySQL is a comprehensive, open-source database management system perfect for a wide range of applications, from web databases to large-scale data warehousing.
Please note that this feature is in its beta stage, we recommend that you do not use it in your production environments.
We are always working to meet the needs of our users and we will continue to expand our data source options!

Use a CSV File as a Data Source in GoodData Trial
GoodData trial users can now upload a CSV file to use as a data source! This new feature is designed to offer a streamlined and efficient method for evaluating our platform's capabilities. Currently, CSV file upload is exclusive to the trial version and not available in the full production release of GoodData Cloud. However, we're actively working on extending this functionality to all our users in the near future.
